Declares "our country is full" and calls asylum a "scam" at Calexico border visit

During an immigration and border-security roundtable in Calexico, California, Trump told migrants "the system is full" and "can't take you anymore," declaring "our country is full." He characterized the asylum process as fraudulent, saying "It's a scam. Okay? It's a scam. It's a hoax," and asserted without evidence that "I look at some of these asylum people; they're gang members." Fact-checkers and immigration experts noted the statutory right to seek asylum and the absence of evidence for the gang-member claim. The remarks recast a legal humanitarian process as a fraud and a criminal threat.
